But for the scope of this post the two shall be sufficient.<\/p>\n<h1>ElephantSQL<\/h1>\n<p>The first service which popped up and seemed fine for my requirements was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elephantsql.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ElephantSQL<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"easyblog-thumb-preview\" title=\"pgcloud1.png\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pgcloud1.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud1.png\" alt=\"pgcloud1.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are various plans one can choose from after registering with a username and password:<br \/>\n<a class=\"easyblog-thumb-preview\" title=\"pgcloud2.png\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pgcloud2.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud2.png\" alt=\"pgcloud2.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;TINY TURTLE&#8221; plan is the only one for free and 20MB of data seems to be very low for a database. But it still might be beneficial for little demos. So I decided to give it a try, registered and created a PostgreSQL database on the ElephantSQL website. The database is available immediately and there is a minimal management console which provides the basic parameters you&#8217;ll need to know for connecting:<br \/>\n<a class=\"easyblog-thumb-preview\" title=\"pgcloud3.png\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pgcloud3.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud3.png\" alt=\"pgcloud3.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s give it a try and try to connect with my local version of psql:<br \/>\n<a class=\"easyblog-thumb-preview\" title=\"pgcloud4_20150614-104201_1.png\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud4_20150614-104201_1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pgcloud4_20150614-104201_1.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud4_20150614-104201_1.png\" alt=\"pgcloud4.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This works pretty well and I could start with whatever I want to do with that database.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to setup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A rather old version of PostgreSQL<\/li>\n<li>Only 20MB storage to play with<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>heroku<\/h1>\n<p>Another provider which offers a free PostgreSQL cloud database is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heroku.com\" target=\"_blank\">heroku<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"easyblog-thumb-preview\" title=\"pgcloud5.png\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pgcloud5.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud5.png\" alt=\"pgcloud5.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As with ElephantSQL there are several options to choose from:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"easyblog-thumb-preview\" title=\"pgcloud6.png\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud6.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pgcloud6.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud6.png\" alt=\"pgcloud6.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This time the limit is not measured in MB but in number of rows. 10&#8217;000 rows could be enough or could not \ud83d\ude42 Again, I decided to give it try. It is almost the same procedure as with ElephantSQL. Register with a username and password and create your PostgreSQL database. There is a dashboard again which shows the basic parameters of your PostgreSQL database:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"easyblog-thumb-preview\" title=\"pgcloud7.png\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud7.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pgcloud7.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud7.png\" alt=\"pgcloud6.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Same test, let&#8217;s try to connect:<br \/>\n<a class=\"easyblog-thumb-preview\" title=\"pgcloud8.png\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud8.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pgcloud8.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pgcloud8.png\" alt=\"pgcloud6.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This works pretty well, too and I could start with whatever I want to do with that database.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to setup<\/li>\n<li>A recent version of PostgreSQL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only 10&#8217;000 rows to play with<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Summary<\/h1>\n<p>Both of the above providers provide a free PostgreSQL cloud database. Both are backed by amazon and both are really easy to setup. As both are free there are limits (which is fine, as it&#8217;s free).
